A consistent description of the macroscopic large amplitude dynamics and processes of internal excitation of a nucleus is suggested. The cranking model approach is used for the calculation of the response function of the nucleus in a moving frame. Using spectral statistics smearing, the collective mass, friction, and di8'usion coefBcients are derived. The relation of the response function in a moving frame to the correlation function in a classical chaotic system is established. The rate of dissipation due the Landau-Zener transitions and through the Kubo mechanism is considered.PACS number(s): 21.60. Ev, 21.10.Re, 24.30.Cz, 24.60.Ky
